I guess I just ran out of words for this book. ✨ It is true that it’s not a five star read for me because it wasn’t showing me anything new, but it made me jiggle and kick my feet way too much.🥹 
we needed this. We definitely needed this. Cas ✨ his POV omg✨
 I loved going back to the first time they met… loved to read about all the new characters again for the first time and learning so much about Cas and his thoughts and trauma and story❤️‍🩹 
it is a 4.75⭐️ read for me because this spinoff was way too good for me but I still love them and I still want to read about them and of course this is still my favorite series of all time💛 

can please someone explain this ending?? what do you mean? like does she remember him or not? We waited all this book for not knowing this? I’m gonna shit my pants. And all this Casteel’s transformation? has me completely livinnnnnn! I didn’t expect it. I love it I want to read more about it🫰🏽

I really enjoyed seeing things from Cas’s perspective. Especially after knowing everything we know. I kind of liked this one better than the first.  It was nice to see what he was going through and a little bit into why he made the decisions he did. The ending really surprised me and I did not see it coming.

I love the bond the three of them have. I wasn’t expecting Cas to shift and I just want to know if she recognized them! I will be heartbroken if she doesn’t

OMG. This made me fall in love with Cas and Poppy all over again. I loved the first book of this series and seeing it from Cas/Hawke's POV is everything. Even knowing the major plot points that happen, his inner dialogue and interactions with Kieran made it worthwhile. Over the course of the story, you can Cas starting to respect her, care for her, protect her, and eventually love her. Kieran knew it the whole time. That man was spot on! I loved the little mixes of the present in there.

Be warned this book does not progress the series. It is essentially a recap from Cas' perspective. If you are expecting the next instalment you are going to be a bit disappointed.
